Question

$$1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8+7}{8}$$

Verify

$\text{true}$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by $8$.

$$1\times 8+7=8+7$$

Multiply $1$ and $8$ to get $8$.

$$8+7=8+7$$

Add $8$ and $7$ to get $15$.

$$15=8+7$$

Add $8$ and $7$ to get $15$.

$$15=15$$

Compare $15$ and $15$.

$$\text{true}$$
